I don't know what method you are using to make your cottage cheese, but there's a really good blog here: http://tcuppminiatures.blogspot.com/2008/09/making-cottage-cheese.html that has good instructions on how to make cottage cheese.  I hope it helps!

Very Interesting blog.

I used the following method for making my cottage cheese, and it gave a pretty good yield:

Edit: The link above gives recipes for two types of Cottage Cheese. One with rennet (Short Set) and one without rennet (Long Set). I used the Long Set procedure that does not require Rennet and am very happy with the results.
